Igudesman, a violinist, and pianist Joo – both classically trained musicians – find inspiration from such comedic forefathers as Victor Borge and P.D.Q. Bach. The duo relishes overturning traditional attitudes towards classical music. Like their predecessors, they are serious musicians who have turned the world’s most esteemed concert halls into standing room-only comedy clubs.

Think Mozart hijacked by Monty Python and you have some idea of the mayhem created at the highest level of musicianship on worldwide stages – and immortalized on videos with more than 30 million views. Yet, while their spin may be irreverent, they always treat the music with the utmost respect.

Sid Tanenbaum, who lived in Woodmere and owned a metal-stamping shop in Far Rockaway, where he was known more for his charitable ways than his two-handed set shot, has been honored for the past 30 years with a basketball tournament that raises scholarship money for students in the Five Towns.
